I do not think he'll ever get beyond the US/IC titles, because he's just...bland. Granted, Orton is also very bland, but he's got the gift of nepotism. I wil say, I think Benjamin will be there for years to come, but only in the same way Holly was there for so long.
Now tell me how wrong I am.

I certainly agree with you, in some respects.
Shelton is a midcarder for life. He's very bland on the mic, but, as you said, can still be that legitimate threat when WWE need one.
His wrestling skills, on the other hand, are phenominal. He is with ease on of the ten best workers in the WWE right now, and the guy is so under-rated for his work rate, it aint even funny.
I enjoyed his stuff with Yoshi Tatsu, but we'd need to see more of that side of Shelton if he's even going to go anywhere. I'd love to see him be consistantly pushed. If his mic skills are whats keeping him back, hire him a mouthpiece to do the talking for him.
